    It feels refreshing to be able to say that Sonic is good again. His upward trajectory over the last year continues and he's only gaining momentum. Sonic Generations is largely a game for the most hardcore of Sonic fans, but for the millions who have fond memories of narrowly dodging spikes, grinding on rails, or even that time he was a pinball, Sonic Generations is a game made for you.

    Sonic is back again with a successful combination of classic and modern gameplay. One of the best Sonic games in the last few years.

    Nicely connected 2D past with 3D future Sonic is a remarkable return of the once popular console hero. The hedgehog is in very good shape regardless of his 2D or 3D dimension. [Christmas 2011]

    Seriously, best sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 for me. I've played Sonic games my whole life, and after their new direction with the secret rings, and shadow the hedgehog's own game, I sadly had to stop wasting money on sonic teams garbage. But I'm happy to say this game rocks! And this version on steam is so much cheaper. Currently you can purchase this game for $30, which is quite a bargain for so much fun. I'd also like to chime in that the modern sonic portions are strangely more fun than I would have thought. The boost mechanic really takes some skill in order to master. If you don't believe me, just youtube modern sonic green hill speed run. Oh, and screw Joystiq!… Expand

    The only thing stopping this game from getting a 9 is that it is just TOO short. Sure its the best Sonic game there has beed since the old SEGA megadrive days (Not including Sonic 4)but if you hit it in one go you will be watching the credits after 3 or 4 hours. There are challenges to complete along the way but they are optional. It was nice to have the Old Sonic back the only thing that worries me is we may have seen the last of the liitle guy.… Expand
